I do think there's a difference between Trippier's and Allan's - I can see why Everton fans are upset, but can also that why that one was a red.

Allan's certainly looks more dangerous, which is why it was a red. Trippier clips hip with the outside of his boot, his foot moving upward and pulls away. Allan's is coming in catching him with his boots on the way down, so it's his studs coming in with weight behind them.

No need to over analyse, it was clearly a yellow and nothing more. In some games it wouldn't even get a yellow. Personally I hate fouls as they break up the flow of the game and injure players. I'd make most yellows a red that would have elimated half of City's team far before ours, without a bias ref of course.

If I was an Everton fan, there’s a lot more I’d be fuming about right now :lol:

I'd start with their physiotherapy staff but always end up with Kenwright.

I’m eternally baffled by Haaland. I don’t understand how somebody who is 6ft5 and built like he is can also have that kind of pace and acceleration. It’s unnatural - like somebody has made a player's attributes on a video game.

He is the Ivan Drago of football

We went toe to fucking toe with Man City. Attacking wise, that’s the best I’ve seen us under Howe. To draw from a 3-1 position was gutting, but to get 3 goals against these having went a goal down so early is amazing and bodes well for the season and indeed the future under our amazing manager.

I've just about come back down to earth after this one, what an incredible game of football.

 

To play as high up the pitch as we did against City takes balls, especially after going one down so early on. 

 

Our attacking play was sensational, Willock, Almiron and Big Joe never stopped grafting, ASM was unplayable, along with Wilson who was an ever present threat.

 

If I was going to have a grumble all three goals were quite soft, but that's City, it's death by a thousand cuts. They have so much quality that even a small error will be exploited and they were absolutely relentless for 15-20 minutes after we went 3-1 up.

 

The atmosphere sounded fantastic too. All in all, just a brilliant game between two sides who went at each other from start to finish. A great advert for the league and dare I say any players on the fence about joining us over the next week and a half.

I know it was only a draw, but it still hasn’t really sunk in how good that was. not just as a result but the game as a whole, it felt like a bit of a throwback. just two teams trying to outscore each other, in very different ways. I absolutely loved it, and probably still would have loved it if they nicked one at the end to make it 3-4. that’s what football is all about.

 

I usually avoid watching Man City because I find them a bit boring, but Haaland makes them a different team. what a beast he is. he’s got everything.

 

Maxi was brilliant, I wish he could do that every week because he gets the whole stadium off their seat when he’s in the mood. get him to the metro centre before every match!

 

We’re Newcastle and we’re going to eventually win the league.

It was a bit of a throwback kind of game, two teams going all out attack and Haaland, he looked lazy and uninterested at times and then bang, pace, power and a goal. He’s deadly and you kind of think he’s just saving himself for the right time to attack/go/kill. Man City are scary, they can now play several ways with him in their team. They cut us open like they would usually do, and then they went direct. He suits them perfectly. He still has flaws in his game mind, but what a player.

Overall, extremely encouraging, because for half an hour we actually looked the better side. And when you consider that probably none of our players would have made it into their eleven, that's quite amazing.

 

ASM's decision-making has improved a lot and he was very effective.

 

Trippier was a bit lucky - that challenge was 50-50 between a yellow and a red, I thought. Normally that sort of professional foul means a yellow, but it involved a jump and he caught the opponent by his knee.

 

The aerial challenge on Schar would have been a free kick anywhere outside the penalty area. It was one of those.

 

Maybe I'm being unfair, but I thought Willock pulled out of a couple of challenges. 

 

And Eddie, please stay here for ever.

Lots to savour about that game but it typifies every paradox we, NUFC, supporters have to now navigate. 

Plucky wannabees battling manfully against the mighty City. Best team in the world (sic) etc etc or the new kids on the block going toe to tie? 

Most people I know just didn't want to get battered. To, at least, show a progression from last year's 9-0 aggregate. Then we concede. 

Half an hour later were winning 3-1 and seemingly in control. 

Of course it couldn't last, after all they're Man City,  the great Man City. These teams always seem to have another gear or 5 of them coming off the bench. Whatever the errors in each concession one couldn't help thinking if it wasn't that time they'd just come again.  It's almost inevitable. 

It's a measure, tho, of how quickly we've improved that a 3-3 home draw against such vaulted opposition comes with a slight feeling of disappointment.  What could've been. 

Then thinking if we'd won would everyone have got carried away ?

Once again Howe gets these lads playing at an improved level. It can only get better as well. 

 

One thing I noted, iirc, the commentator saying something about Pep/Man City "when faced with adversity" blah blah. 

Aye, mate, they just go and spend £100m on a player,  poor cunts.
